SSF UK is delighted to welcome Creative Huddle to our membership community, as they join us this June at our Safari Summer Social Leaders Event at Chester Zoo.
Creative Huddle is a boutique consultancy specialising in leadership, strategy and high‑performance team development, working with senior leaders and their teams to create the conditions for clearer thinking, better decision‑making and more effective collaboration. Their work supports organisations at moments that matter — from navigating complexity and change to strengthening leadership capability and team performance.
With a flexible and thoughtful approach, Creative Huddle delivers impact through one‑off workshops, multi‑session programmes and longer‑term advisory partnerships, tailoring each engagement to the real challenges leaders are facing rather than applying a fixed methodology. Their client portfolio spans some of the world’s most recognised organisations, including Google, ITV, American Express, Tesco Mobile and the BBC, reflecting both the credibility and versatility of their work across sectors.

James Allen, Facilitator and Organisational Development Consultant at Creative Huddle. will lead the interactive workshop 'Survival Strategies: Stepping into the Wild to Rethink Resilience'.
James brings fifteen years of experience designing and leading workshops for senior leadership teams, working across strategy, culture, team performance and leadership development. His work typically supports organisations during periods of significant change or challenge, helping leaders to step back, think clearly and move forward with confidence.
James’ facilitation style is practical, direct and highly relevant. Rather than following a prescriptive framework, sessions are shaped around the questions that truly matter to the people in the room, encouraging honest dialogue, deeper insight and meaningful action. His experience spans the financial, professional services, technology and public sectors, making his work particularly resonant for SSF UK’s diverse leadership community.
In this interactive and reflective session, leaders will be invited to rethink resilience, exploring what it really means to sustain performance, clarity and collaboration in demanding environments. Set within the immersive surroundings of Chester Zoo, the session will challenge participants to step outside of day‑to‑day pressures, adopt new perspectives and consider practical strategies they can take back into their organisations.
Creative Huddle’s focus on purposeful leadership, thoughtful strategy and effective collaboration makes them a natural addition to SSF UK’s leadership events programme. Their contribution to the Safari Summer Social Leaders Event will offer members a valuable opportunity to pause, reflect and reconnect, not just with one another, but with the leadership behaviours that enable teams and organisations to thrive.
SSF UK looks forward to welcoming Creative Huddle and James Allen to Chester Zoo this June and to the insights, conversations and connections their session will inspire across our member organisations.
